BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available

I will do the update tomorrow, but 3.1 has been a pain sometimes. It connects ok most of the time, but it's painfully slow. Sometimes it locks up, or drops out etc. I have ridden a little more than 10,000 Km’s with that version, so I'm hoping 4.1 is better…

Update is done, load a lot faster so big improvement, will ride soon…

I'll have to download that and try it with Carplay tomorrow. Thanks for letting us know!

I've now downloaded and installed the update, and it gave me an odd message about an Audio update when it finished the installation.
It did require me to restart the bike for the update process to complete.

After restarting, I checked the Audio settings and it had switched from "headset" to "speakers", so I switched it back to headset, which is what I've used in the past.

After the restart, it connected quickly to the headset in my helmet, which I had powered on during the restart. As I had previously experienced, I had to plug and unplug my iPhone a couple of times before it recognized that it was plugged into the USB port. Once it "saw" that the iPhone was connected, the CarPlay map of my home came up quickly.

I'll go for a ride tomorrow morning to see how CarPlay works now.

Downloaded this morning and did not require a restart to complete.

I'm holding my breath on this update. The clock had to be reset

Yeah, I had to reset my clock, too, which meant digging out my Operator's Guide to figure out how to do that.

I thought I needed to reset my clock but I realized it was the correct time just the time zone was wrong, and I had to reset the audio out to headset.

Did this update last night on my F3. No issues with the install. Had to reset the clock time zone, but audio stayed set on Headset. Hope to see some Bluetooth stability improvements (V3.1 would not stay connected to my phone/would not connect at all to my headset).

Picked up my Spyder from the dealer yesterday after the two year service. The timing of the 4.1 update release was good so that was done (unbelievably, they charged $15 to do so!!! Even though they are very convenient, for that and a couple other reasons, it is probably the last time they will see my bike for service) .

Yes, I had to reset the time zone for the clock - appreciate the heads up from those who tested ahead of me. Initial impression is that ACP may have connected a little more quickly than before. For sure, I can now do phone calls - that is, the voice functions work without being robotic sounding at strange speeds (usually too slow). I haven't had a chance to test with receiving a text message, having that read to me, and then being able to respond with voice commands; but I'm hopeful that will work as well (more likely to be used than a phone call).

So, for me, looks like I have a fully functioning ACP - finally. Of course, time will tell as I get to ride more.

I remember an earlier discussion about the Spyder and Bluetooth versions being an issue.

This says the Spyder uses Bluetooth 5.0 in the section "AM I ABLE TO USE BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES WITH APPLE CARPLAY?"

The Cardo Spirit HD website says it uses Bluetooth 5.2.

I use a SENA 3S Plus Boom Microphone Kit installed in my helmet, which uses Bluetooth 5.1. It seems to work fine.

I asked Googled if there were any connection problems between 5.2 and 5.0 and the generic answer is that 5.2 should be compatible with 5.0.

But then I found a reference to LE Audio:

LE Audio: If you are experiencing issues with audio quality and using LE Audio (a feature of Bluetooth 5.2), try turning off the "Use LE Audio when available" setting on the device with the newer Bluetooth version, if available.

Bluetooth LE Audio is the next generation of Bluetooth audio technology, built on top of Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), offering enhanced audio quality, lower power consumption, and new features compared to the older Bluetooth Classic Audio

I have no idea whether the Cardo Spirt HD uses LE Audio.
